A great majority of Episcopalians are u
deadly opp0siti. n TO The negro being sd

have but few friends in the stand winch
they have taken. IL is asserted by their icy
opponents that if the negro is allowed %

years he will govern the body. A pTOpO-
<ftion has been made by some lay members
TO organize and discharge sill preachers

A Chance sor Our Boys.

For some years past there has been
prejudice against teaching American
boys any handicraft or trade. Our az
prentice laws have fallen into disuse;
then the trades-unions have discrimina-
ted against lads who wished TO become
mechanics. One valid reason against
training a boy TO particular handicraft
was the progress Of invention, which
steadily supplanted manual labor by
ingenious machinery. Then, there are
SO many opportunities for making mon
ely in trade and speculation that ambi-
tious young Americans are eager to en-
ter the fields OF commerce, to become
politicians, and do anything, in fact,
rather than confne themselves to the
farm, the shop, or the mandatory.
And so IL comes about that when any
work requiring technical skill is re.
luired, foreigners have to be employed.
Such Americans as must work at the
mechanic trades find themselves at a
disadvantage when competing with
trained foreigners. Americans lay the
brick but the stone-masons are from
Europe. There are native plasterers,
but the ornamental work is nearly al
ways entrusted to German. There are
American and English carpenters, but
the fine io er-work in hard woods, and
the carving and other decorations are
necessarily entrusted to the French
technically trained workman. Ameri-
cans paint houses, but for the frescoing
and decorative work the Italian, French,
~. hoe ba al, ho a
occurred of which our people have
not taken advantage. IL is quito true
Chat machinery has supplanted manual
labor in the manufacture Of clothing
material, but no inventor can take the
place of the artistic workman. We
have too many traders and spectators.

men are so sea- 1t we are forced tc
import them frCu Europe What we
need is such an extension Of our public
school system as will give to our boys
and girls the same advantages of art
education as those possessed by the
Young French, German, and Ital-
ian workmen. We want technical
industrial schools. There are too
many book-keepers, statesmen, mer-
chants, and politicians in the United
states. 1t is a Notifying fact that the
most keen-witted, inventive, and intelli-
gent people on earth allow themselves
to be beaten in many of the industrial
arts by foreigners who have not the
same natural capacity, but who have
the advantage of an excellent technical
and artistic education. American
fathers should see to it that
their sons and daughters are taught oc-
equations in which foreigners now ex-
eel, and in which there is no danger Of
competition in the way of improved

Some Strange Metals.

Some Of the metals which are famil.
ar enough to the chemist, though rare
ly seen outside his laboratory, have so
little in common with the metals OF
every day life as 10 scarcely seem TO
belong TO the same class of substances.
We commonly think of metal rs be-
ing heavy, vet sodium and potassium
Will float on water and lithium i the
lightest Of all known solids. The fact
is that the word metal is one OF the
hardest in the language to define. The
metals all have peculiar luster, to he
sure, which, from its association, has
come 10 he called metallic; but many
minerals, as galena and black-lead,
which most certainly are not metals,
have the same appearance, and so on
through the list of properties. The
chemical relations of the metals give
good reasons for placing these sub
stances by themselves, though even
here the lines are not clearly marked.
One Of the most distinctive properties
Of the metals is their power TO form,
when combined with acids, class OF
bodies called salts-on account of Their
resemblance TO common salt, which
contains about so per cent. of the metal
sodium. This metal is a blush white
waxy solid, and has such a great ten
deucy 90 rust, or unite with the oxyger
i'm the air, that it must be kept in some
. oil, like petroleum, which contains M
oxygen.

some respects such an amendment is
necessary. More than one of the
larger Michigan cities have found a
difficulty in inducing a new electric
light company to come in and com
pete for only one years contract, tho
expense of starting a plant being too
large to be undertaken Cor certain
~ Of only one year. Consequently
the first one in possession obtains "A
monopoly. The same rule operates
in lighting with gas, and may in 9th
cr matters. Ii is, moreover, regard
cd rs a business rule that short con
tracts tend to higher prices, while
longer contracts being lower bids
On the other hand, it is argued a,
wise on the part of cities to guar
against too long contracts, from five
to seven years being deemed quite
long enough. SO it would seem The
best possible ding would be a well
guarded general law applicable to al
cities of the state.

UTTERLY DISCOURAGED

expresses the feeling Of many victims Of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and ner-
vous or sick headache. Having tried
numberless so-called remedies, and physi-
clans of all schools, without relief, there
seems to be no hope. Many such have as
last resort tried Athlophoros, and to their
surprise and Joy have found that il was a
SAFE sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by It's use and they testify as to its value.
William Blair, train dispatcher Of the

says: "For about fifteen years have been

duties as well as making life burden.

i was suffering very much, and had never
succeeded in getting anything that would
give me but temporary relief and that was
of very short duration. The first bottle Of
Athlophoros made very decided change,
